  1. Oh McCoy hold onto that ball! My heart can't take it. #Eagles
  2. Oh @CFOServices - agreed! We did bags of cookies for the neighbors and all of the "fancy" ingredients (like candied ginger) upped the cost.
  3. It's true @luckywhitegirl - I can't remember the last time I bought a loaf of bread. Costs $5 for nice artisan loaf, can make for under $1.
  4. Try Target @adgemc - I think that's where we got it. There or amazon.com (it was a big game year in our house this year).
  5. The Hungry, Hungry Hippos game in the next room is getting ugly.
  6. We ate the heads of the baby octopus (cleaned per your suggestions). All 11 of us survived. Octopus finished before rib roast (not kidding).
  7. Well @btannebaum @JeenaBelil @amyderby It's kind of true. About to eat the head...
  8. Yes @wmreaves @mariloutheclerk I have several baby octopuses (octopi?). Hubby bought them, became pt of tapas for dinner.
  9. Yes @EllenVictor @LegalTypist I'm feeding octopus to the kids. In my defense, they asked their dad for it - became pt of Boxing Day dinner.
  10. Thanks @retheauditors @davidmoldawer (shudder).
  11. Oh good grief - does anyone know if you eat the heads of the baby octopus? Cookbook doesn't say not to, but kind of gross.
  12. Actually @margaretroach I would totally believe it - this book I have (from Spain) also recommends "scaring" the dead octopus.
  13. 1st pt of recipe is as follows: "tenderize the octopus by throwing it forcefully about 10 times into your kitchen sink." Not kidding.
  14. Brioche is rising, next on the list: sides and standing rib roast. Oh @Paula_Deen - don't fail me now!
  15. Sending @jcerb out to pick up a rib roast at @RdgTerminalMkt for Boxing Day.
  16. Eke @Meg_Power we stressed over the same thing. We mixed it up so Santa also used some "creative: paper, including foil and old Xmas cards.
  17. "Remember when tomorrow was Christmas? That was very fun!" - the 3 yo's perspective, the day after Christmas.
  18. My kids spent the whole day playing games that did not flash, beep or require a monitor; you can put that in your Wii and smoke it. ;)
  19. RT @walletpopper The Rush to Convert: Why 2010 will be the year of the Roth IRA http://bit.ly/4zFtMf
  20. "Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more." - Dr. Seuss
